The Steamboat Calliope
is a return to the exploration of abstract musical instruments mixed with the recent discovery of larger plexi-rods and plexi-tubing.
It wasn't much of a stretch to come up with pipe organ but I recalled from the old days how paddle-wheelers used to ply
the trade up and down the Mississipi River and some used to bring purely entertainment shows and they would announce themselves
using a steam calliope attached to the boilers. Very carnival like and perhaps they were associated with the New Orleans
Mardi Gras Festival and that time of the year.
